VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 9, A MAJOR HIGHWAY HERE IN THE CITY OF POUGHKEEPSIE AND I HAD MYWINDSHIELD WIPERS ON BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING. SUDDENLY THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER ARM STOPPED MOVING, CAUSING THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER TO MOVE ACROSS IT FORMING AN 'X' ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. THE WIPER SYSTEM STALLED AND I COULDN'T SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AGAIN. LUCKILY THERE WASN'T TOO MUCH TRAFFIC AT THE TIME AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO PULL OUT OF THE ROAD WITHOUT CRASHING INTO ANYTHING. I HAD SEEN EARLIER IN THIS WEBSITE THAT THERE IS OR SUPPOSED TO BE A RECALL ON THE 98 CUTLASSES FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE WIPER SYSTEMS AND I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A RECALL NOTE BUT I HAVEN'T RECIEVED ONE YET. MY QUESTION IS, IS MY DEALER REQUIRED TO PERFORM THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT FOR FREE OR AM I REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE? *AK
